2 bitch stole my look

Bitch stole my look. There's not much else I have to say about Regency Distribution and their World's Away collection now available in Australia. Let's deconstruct this scene: the gold maga base and cow hide on the floor? I feel like maybe I soaked up the look via telepathy. It does confirm something for me, I do not love a glass top, even on this delicious scene they have created. I need something more solid and less of a dust collector. Hopefully the marble slab I found over the weekend works!

3 west elm sydney

I finally made it out to West Elm/Pottery Barn/Williams Sonoma in Bondi last Saturday and was a little underwhelmed to tell you the truth. West Elm was pretty good, good to have another option other than Freedom et al but I was expecting more. As for Pottery Barn, I won't be rushing back there, it's a paint by numbers cookie cutter store in the palest of beiges. Willams Sonoma was good, great kitchen ware store and the cooking school was beautiful (plus one of the store boys looked EXACTLY like Robert Pattinson, english accent and all). This may sound rather negative, but I did find lovely things I would be more than thrilled to have in my home. Take this pink and orange rug above, or the marble topped spaghetti side table, or the faceted coffee table. I also found some great fur cushions and of course the chevron pouf. Anyone bought anything from there yet?

west elm origami coffee table

i am sick of my coffee table so this post is the beginning of my inspiration board...

when hannah and i shot tait outdoor for adore home magazine i fell in love with their jill low coffee table (below) and this one above from west elm is giving me head spins. why can't we get cool furniture like this in australia that doesn't cost the earth and can be shipped?

something we do now have here is alexandra von furstenberg's insanely good acrylic accessories at peter's of kensington (of all places!?)

this pink chiclet bowl from peters of kensington would look super on my fantasy table

and some more round shiny would be good to layer, except i want a colour, not white, this one from brauer birds is perfect, bar the colour, any suggestions? would painting it work? would the paint chip? can you get chip resistant paint? 

help me!
